Gift Tips

- Save room for dessert: the raspberry pie and chocolate caramel torte are standout finishes.
- If you're dining Friday in summer, consider the lobster roll when it's on the menu.
- Ask for servers like Corinne or Jackie if they're working — both are known for attentive, friendly service.
